Conor McGregor Summons Demolition of 250-Year-Old Dublin Site as UFC Star Expands $200M Business Empire

According to reports, Conor McGregor is all set to indulge in a new business venture. The 35-year-old has not only established a name in fighting but also built up a name in business. He has his own whiskey brand, Proper Number Twelve, and is also a proud owner of two pubs, the Black Forge Inn in Crumlin and the Marble Arch in Drimnagh.

However, it now seems that the UFC star has devised his own plans to expand his empire. A recent post by Dublin Social on Instagram gave the fans details of his plans. Let us find out what ‘The Notorious’ has in mind for his new venture.

Conor McGregor comes up with a unique plan to expand his business

Former two-division champion Conor McGregor now wants to turn one of his pubs into a four-storey hotel. The Dubliner purchased the “Waterside” pub in 2022 as a part of the investment. Although it has stayed inactive since the time of its acquisition, it now seems that it will go under construction. The 35-year-old has reportedly asked for permission to demolish the current four-story building in the town of Howth. According to the plans of the Irish UFC superstar, a new four-story hotel and a five-story pub will be put up in its place.

In a recent Q&A he hosted on Instagram, a fan asked McGregor about the same. The Dubliner replied, laying out his plans. He wrote, “As soon as planning is agreed I will be in to operate asap. High-quality entertainment and service around luxury hotel amenities, magnificent decor, large pub and restaurant, private rooftop bar, out of this world set up, no cost spared, everything is set.”

He continued, “I just need green light and I will work tirelessly to bring howth to the level it deserves and usher in major business and employment and enjoyment for all in the area. Here is hoping it goes smooth.”

While McGregor is planning to expand his business, the fans are waiting to see him in action inside the Octagon. It was 2021 when McGregor was last seen inside the Octagon and since then has been sidelined because of an injury. He recently took his X account(formerly Twitter) to announce his return at the International Fight Week. However, much to the surprise of everyone, he is yet to receive any official date for his return. During such testing times, current heavyweight champion Jon Jones has come up with some words of encouragement for the former two-division champion.

The friendship between Jon Jones and Conor McGregor goes a long way back, and the pair are keeping their friendship intact. Both McGregor and Jones are sidelined owing to serious injuries and are waiting to return to the Octagon. While Jones has yet to announce the date for his return, ‘The Notorious’ has made it clear about his comeback.

However, he is still being overlooked by the UFC and is yet to receive any date. McGregor is using this time to get in shape and also spend time with his family members. A recent Instagram video is making rounds on the internet where he is seen enjoying his time with his kids on his yacht.
